Haselünne, 26 April 2016 - Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft (ISIN:
DE0005201602), which is traded in the regulated market (General Standard)
of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has a new anchor investor. The Dutch
investor Monolith Investment Management acquired 10.4% of the shares in the
parent company of the Berentzen Group from the investment company AURELIUS.
"We are delighted to have Monolith on board as a new anchor investor who
has a long-term strategic interest in our company. This is also
demonstrated by the fact that Monolith wants to be involved in the
Berentzen Group's corporate bodies," said Frank Schübel, CEO of
Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft.
Gert Purkert, member of the AURELIUS Executive Board, also highlights the
long-term aspect: "We granted Monolith's request to acquire a part of our
share package because we were convinced that we would thus be putting the
business in hands that desire stability." Monolith founder and Chairman
Daan van Vlaardingen corroborates this impression: "The Berentzen Group is
an excellent fit with our portfolio, which always invests in just a few
companies, but with a significant stake - we thus increase the intensity of
our involvement."
After the off-market transaction, which was advised by ODDO SEYDLER BANK
AG, the AURELIUS Group still holds around 18.8% of the shares in the parent
company of the Berentzen Group.
